"What? Is it enough?" Penia blinked and asked inexplicably.

"Of course enough. According to the information I learned, the price of long muskets on the black market is twenty gold coins per piece. The cast iron cannon is a little more expensive, three hundred gold coins per piece. When buying, you will also get a certain amount of ammunition. I will calculate that these five hundred long muskets and twenty cannons... There are only 16,000 gold coins in total, how can 40,000 gold coins not enough?" Xia Zuo was simply jumping. The price of black market firearms is indeed a little more expensive than those purchased through regular channels, but it cannot be so outrageous.

"I also need to buy some ammunition," said Penia.

"How many?" Xia Zuo asked.

"You need 100,000 bullets and 400 shells," said Peña.

"The bullets are very cheap. I just bought five gold coins and bought a box of 100 bullets. The shells are more expensive. I guess they need one hardware coin. This way... the bullets are 5,000 gold coins and the shells are 2,000 gold coins. The previous 16,000 yuan, and a total of 23,000 gold coins are only 40,000 yuan. 40,000 yuan is definitely enough. You can't have to charge a lot of money for shipping, right?" Xia Zuo asked.

"He said... a total of 50,000 gold coins, free shipping." Peña whispered, lowered her head and slashed her fingers and calculated.

"Fifty thousand gold coins? This guy has more than doubled the price. Damn it." Xia Zuo cursed in dissatisfaction.

"What should I do?" Penia seemed anxious. "He just wants so much, but I don't have that much money."

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Xia Zuo asked.

"What?" Penia asked back with some difficulty, her face turned red for no reason.

"I'll go with you, stupid, let's see if I'll help you save the price..." Xia Zuo pinched Penia's face and said, this was a problem that had been caused by the little witch Vivian.

"Yeah! Thank you!" Penia's face turned redder, but fortunately the sky was dark and Xia Zuo couldn't see clearly.

The next evening, a remote grocery store.

Shazo, who had her body covered in a black robe, asked Penia to stay outside the door first, walked in alone, and knocked on the counter.

The arms dealer Billy appeared behind the counter and said familiarly: "Dear sir, what are you going to buy?"

"Cough!" Xia Zuo coughed lightly, looked around, leaned closer to Billy, and said, "I have a batch of brand new muskets here, do you want it?"

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Billy pretended not to understand.

"Stop putting it?" Xia Zuo took out a bullet from his pocket and put it on the counter, and said, "I just bought it from you yesterday."

Billy glanced at the bullet and saw that the shell was indeed the new batch he had entered. He felt relieved and lowered his voice and laughed: "Hey, in our business, be careful to make the Wannian Ship, why? Sir has a batch of muskets to take action?"

"Yes! One hundred new muskets I got from North America, it's useless for me to keep them. Give me a price!" Xia Zuo lowered his voice and pretended to be very skillful.

"What about this... one hundred pieces, one ten gold coins? This is the price!" Billy said.

"Ten gold coins? Isn't it too low? I'll sell this single piece, at least fifteen gold coins..." Xia Zuo seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Hey, sir, you're wrong. If you can sell it alone, can you still come to me for one sale? I have to take risks and sell it takes time. Buying goods in batches, the price of my ten gold coins is already high enough. If you don't believe me, go and ask elsewhere. There is no higher price than me." Billy seemed to have blocked everything Xia Zuoneng said, and the meaning is very obvious. If you don't believe me, go and ask elsewhere.

"Okay, only ten gold coins, right? If I buy goods from you, how much does a long musket cost?" Xia Zuo changed his mind and asked again.

"Sir, are you buying or selling muskets?" Billy seemed to understand something, and the smile on his face calmed down a little.

"Of course it's selling, no no no, don't get me wrong. I have some ways to do this business at the Boston Arsenal in North America, and I want to do this business. If it really starts, we can cooperate, right?" Xia Zuo was lying again, but he did his homework for this lie. On this day, he checked a lot of information about the arsenal. Several major arsenals in the world outside the Steam Alliance, and the Boston long muskets in North America were the best, but they mainly supported it in the North American battlefield and rarely went out. Many arms dealers wanted to open the door, but they couldn't find any relationship.

"Look, this is the latest short musket developed by the Boston Arsenal." Xia Zuo was afraid that Billy would not believe it, so he took out his silent gun, pulled out the magazine and showed Billy the five bullets inside, and immediately put them away.

There are not no muskets that can hold five bullets. The Steam Alliance revolver can load bullets. Although there are researches in other places, due to the closure, the muskets produced are less powerful and very expensive.

"Oh? Boston Arsenal?" Billy's eyes lit up, and looked at Xia Zuo's musket. Billy believed it, paused, and lowered his voice: "Okay, since you want to do business, I will tell you something. The larger the firearm, the higher the profit, the higher the profit, the short musket is. Because of the overflowing technology, it can no longer make much money. This long musket is usually sold for fifteen gold coins on the black market, but it has to be divided into people. Some people do not understand the mystery and think that the price of firearms is very expensive. It is understandable to say that it is more expensive in other places, but in our British city, the price is not high either, so when you meet those who don't understand, you can double the price..."

Hurry!

Billy was talking, when Xia Zuo's elbow, pressing on the counter, suddenly slid, his body tilted, and the bullets in his pocket fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

"I'm sorry, I'll put it away immediately." Xia Zuo quickly apologized and leaned over to pick up the bullets.

At this moment, Penia, who got the code outside the door, walked into the grocery store in her robe and came to the counter.

Billy's eyes lit up again. He still remembered the clothes that Penia wore, and he would not forget those who could make a fortune.

"Huh? It's you?" Peña just stopped at the counter, but looked at Xia Zuo in surprise.

"Ah, it's you?" Xia Zuo also pretended to be surprised, stood up, but pretended to be a little angry, "I don't want my firearm, come here to buy it?"

"Dear, you are angry again. I just don't want to owe you too much." Penia blushed when she said this line, but no one could see it because of the robe.

After the two of them finished speaking, they turned around and looked at Billy behind the counter. Xia Zuo said first: "This is my friend, please take more care of him."

"Oh, oh!" Billy realized that something was wrong, looked at the two of them blankly, responded twice, suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, and murmured: "Oh God!" He all reacted, feeling very upset. He knew that he had been fooled by this person.

"Okay, this is just a pleasant joke. I have no connection with the Boston Arsenal, but..." Shazzo pulled a long voice.

Billy's face was a little embarrassed. There was no one who was easy to talk to. They were all illegal businesses. Although they were not ruthless, they were at least not ordinary people could provoke them.

"Actually, I really want to cooperate with you. This is the structural diagram of the latest model of revolver. It is more enclosed than any revolver today, and it will never leak..." Xia Zuo took out a gun design diagram from his pocket and placed it on the counter.

Billy seemed to be a little distrustful of Xia Zuo, and hesitated before picking up the picture. After looking at it, his face changed suddenly. He had been in the arms business for more than twenty years, and he even designed a single-shot long musket, which was impossible to understand the musket structure map.

Penia also looked at Xia Zuo and wanted to ask, but she held back. Xia Zuo did not tell her about this.

"This gun is OK..." Billy looked at it for a while before putting down the picture, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"Yes, this gun can be filled with eight bullets..." Xia Zuo smiled and said, "The design drawings in your hand are only one-third of the total design drawings. The other two pictures are still here with me. Please take them and see them first. If you think we can cooperate, I will come to listen to your reply in three days..."

"Okay, you are really a surprise!" Billy's attitude towards Xia Zuo completely changed. For Billy, the ordinary gun design drawings asked for from Lei were simply unmeasurable with money, because the guns designed in this drawing may directly change the market structure of the revolver.

Although the market for revolver is small, this kind of luxury gun has always been the favorite of the nobles. The nobles don’t care about the little money they buy guns at all. If this gun is really designed, it will definitely make a lot of money.

"Okay, it's time to talk about my friend." Shazzo tilted his head in the direction of Penia.

"Hello Miss, what do you want?" Billy looked at Penia immediately.

"Five hundred spears, twenty cast iron cannons, one hundred thousand bullets, four hundred shells..." Penia reported it very well. In order not to be frightened, she had practiced many times.

"Where to deliver?" Billy asked again.

"The Harding Port in South America is a small port. As long as Miss Penia's things arrive, someone will pick you up there..." Penia said.

"Very good, eight hundred long spears, thirty steel cannons, 150,000 bullets, and 1,000 shells... delivered within a month." Billy lowered his head and began to remember.

"No, you remembered it wrong... I don't have that much money..." Penia was anxious.

"I gave you these things to you. Miss Peña... don't have any money." Billy looked up and smiled, then turned to look at Xia Zuo and said, "Sir, do you think this is OK?"

Xia Zuo raised his hand and gestured to Billy with an OK gesture, with a convincing expression on his face and said, "You really surprised me."

In fact, Xia Zuo really admires it. I have to say that every successful businessman has the courage and courage that ordinary people do not have.

...

Let me talk about the update issue. First of all, I planned to update it 20 minutes ago today, and then Qidian's background has not been able to log in. Now, there are questions about updates every day. Well... I thought it would be available for May Day, but in fact, I didn't recommend it for two weeks, and it would probably take another month to go on the shelves. It would be very ugly to update too much data... I hope to understand, by the way, I wrote 14,000 words today.
